One of the Indonesian Slackware Community
asked for driver for his Canon printer, Canon Pixma MP 287. He found a source for the driver, but unfortunately there's no SlackBuild for it, so i tried to create a SlackBuild script for it using the idea of how ArchLinux created their
PKGBUILD. Luckily, the conversion works and now it has been uploaded to my
SlackHacks repository.
This driver supports a variety of Canon Pixma series, particularly:
- mp250
- mp280
- mp495
- mg5100
- ip4800
- mg5200
- mg6100
- mg8100
Please note that you need to specify the model when you are building it. For example, to build a driver for mp250, you would execute the SlackBuild like this:
MODEL=mp250 ./cnijfilter.SlackBuild
Let me know if you use this driver and it works (or it doesn't work) so i can improve it in the future.
